B:)...I believe your husband was one of the volunteers when Hiliary ran for Sen.the first time in NYC. With the likes of Loida Nicolas Lewis backing her, many Fil Ams flocked to her support. Loida for those who don't know who she is, is one of the richest Fil Ams in the US. Tho we are well acquainted and know and like each other, she is way out of my social class.
Loida hired me as a volunteer to be her webmaster in NaFFAA Eastern Region where she was the Regional Chair in 1999. She later appointed me as the volunteer Deputy Director for Information Management for NaFFAA National when she became National Chair in 2004. That's how I ended up as a NaFFAA delegate as a NaFFAA National officer to the
3rd Global Filipino Networking Conference held in Cebu in Jan 2005 which gave me the opportunity to visit Bohol again since 1972.
To say Hilary has foreign policy experience is like saying Barack only has 2 years in politics. Obama had been involved in local Chicago politics since 1985 after he graduated from Columbia University, and in IL state politics after he went on to earn his law degree from Harvard in 1991, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, then ran for the Illinois State Senate and served for eight years.
With Barach as one of the IL Senators to the US Senate since 2004, I don't know where you got that info that he's got a pretty low support there, especially in Chicago. He never would have been elected US Senator from IL if he did not have the majority support particularly in Chicago. That's another state Hillary WILL loose to Barack!
Exercise is only half the battle. You have to watch what you eat. Many of our Filipino foods are some of the worst things for a healthy diet. There's way too much starch, fat, salt and sugar especially in fried foods, like fried banana which i love to eat. :'( Tho Yogi may not have coined this, it sounds like he did: You are what you eat! (
The nutritionist Victor Lindlahr coined the phrase in English in 1942.)
These days, any airport is for the rich, especially with the cost of avgas and maintenance. I had dreams of flying as a little kid riding back and forth in aircraft from NYC to Bohol every 2 years from the time i was born til i turned 18, courtesy of the UN. That dream to fly sort of came true in the back of the
WC-130 as an
aerial weather observer or
meteorological technician courtesy of the USAF. I am now the Membership Chair of the
AWRA veterans org.
I have paid with my obsession with computers since I was in a HS computer course in 1967 with a condition called trigger finger. Half of my fingers have needed minor ambulatory operations to fix this condition, which really started when my dad forced me to learn to type on a manual typewriter when i was in 1st grade. That skill helped him get his job in the UN.
I got my own personal laptop as a retirement present in 2004. In 2006, my son, who works for NJ Verizon got me a WLAN card for free. It basically gives me broadband access anywhere i go with my laptop thru the cell phone towers. The more signal bars, the faster the connection. This past holidays, my present was a newer free
EVDO Rev A card that is even faster yet less drain on the batteries/power source.
Since our P3 desktop is more older and slower than my now aging P4 Centrino laptop, my wife will think nothing of throwing me off my laptop to do her email. Tho she is the family CFO, i am the clerk who does most of the electronic bill paying at her direction. We hardly ever write checks anymore. When i begged for a new duel-core pentium laptop from santa, she asked whats wrong with the one you got? I told her it was old and slow. She said so are you; a perfect match

sgt.joey, I didn't let the 2 gordeous day passed by without enjoying outside, it's like a taste of spring. And that's the reason I haven't open my PC. I can't believe I survived a day without pc.
When my husband volunteered, we weren't married yet. And he's not a filipino, he's caucasian, sorry if I didn't tell you before. He's been a big fan of the Clintons. And after knowing about their records, that's when I became to like them as well.
And about Obama, I can't tell now where I got my information. I have read lots of magazines about him like Times, Newsweek, The New Yorker and many others that I couldn't figure out which one of those mentioned it, although you are right, it doesn't make any sense. O well, I might be wrong, sorry.
I would say not only filipino food are very bad for our health but I think almost all kinds. I love to eat cheese and one of my favorite is blue cheese with red wine. But again, my husband and I are very careful. We only eat them occasionally.
About internet connections, we got ours from cablevision. We got their 3 in 1 package - internet, telephone and tv. Then I got a router so I can connect my laptop to WIFI with security locked of course. And then we have verizon wireless for our mobile. But we didn't know this before that verizon are not the same as verizon wireless. We always thought, it's all one company.
